Software

The Performer Suite is Dynamixyz’ award-winning video-based facial capture and analysis solution. Flexible business models combine with constantly evolving cutting-edge software and hardware to deliver a time and cost-efficient workflow, empowering you to make unsurpassed raw animation, or unique real-time production.

Markerless motion capture

Unlike traditional marker-based motion capture systems, which capture a very limited number of marker positions, Performer makes use of the whole facial image to track facial movements; every pixel of the face being used as a source of information.

Quick and easy to set up

Rapidly production-ready, approx. one minute setup.

Real-time, on-set previz

A real-time tracker is available in the Grabber software able to process live streams for real-time events, monitoring or previsualization.

Unsurpassed raw animation

A time and cost-efficient workflow empowers you to make unsurpassed raw animation, or unique real-time production.

Clean unfiltered data

No need for data cleaning.

Wide range of plugins and devices for real-time engines

Performer software provides a large range of plugins for the most widely used 3D software and game engines: 3D Autodesk® Maya®, Autodesk® MotionBuilder®, Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Autodesk® SoftImage®, Unity® and Unreal®.

Gaspard Breton

PhD, CEO

Before co-founding Dynamixyz, Gaspard worked for more than twelve years as researcher and research program leader at Orange Labs on facial analysis/synthesis. He defended his PhD (University of Rennes I) in the field of facial animation in 2002. Notably, he was promoted “senior expert” in 2007 as a recognition of his outstanding work. He participated in many European projects and networks of excellence as well as smaller national collaborative projects. He continues in the role of expert for the French Research National Agency. He also supervised several PhD students on various technologies that were all related to facial animation (rigging and animation, speech production, photorealistic rendering and motion capture). Gaspard has successfully evolved from R&D engineer to businessman, and brought with him a collaborative mindset that demands proven efficiency, combined with a strong dedication to customer satisfaction.

Olivier Aubault

PhD, CTO

Olivier Aubault previously served as research engineer at Orange Labs, in particular, as lead developer in projects designing real time visualisation systems over the network. He collaborated with various departments including marketing, graphic designers, and developers, which gives him a firm customer-oriented, quality-driven work approach.

He has a proven track record of establishing long lasting relationships with key industry figures, producing collaborative projects, and signing contracts with major worldwide industrial companies.

Testimonials

What they say about our Performer Solution?

The Dynamixyz Performer Suite its the best facial MoCap solution for animated CG production I have used , it delivers high quality facial animation with easy to use tools empowered by a solid software processing that smoothly integrates into pipeline.

The level of detail in the face what we got from the solves was fantastic. I still think what I got during the evaluation was the cleanest capture I’ve seen out of the box.

Dynamixyz offers one of the best markerless facial trackers available with the highest amount of data fidelity I’ve witnessed.They’re truly ahead of their time and we, at Motek Entertainment, haven’t purchased a single optical facial marker since. Besides that, their pipeline is so flexible and their support so open that it was even quite easy to integrate their raw data into our own custom retargeting pipeline.

Jasper Brekelmans - Technical Director - Motek Entertainment

Over the last year we’ve put a lot of optical flow trackers through an exploratory phase and in the end Performer was an easy decision. The tracker is user friendly, robust in what we consider adverse conditions, and has a set of features that show Dynamixyz understands the animation production business. We recently launched into production on a feature length animated project and have deployed Performer into our facial pipeline.

Stefanie Boose - Executive producer - Animatrik

We’ve been working with Performer testing real-time animation at the point of recording and are very impressed with the results. It is not obtrusive, it’s fast to set up and enables us to see and direct animated performance at the point of creation.

Mark Estdale - Managing director - OMUK

Dynamixyz have designed a very performance-friendly system. The headcams are light, easy to use, and allow you to see the other actor beyond the camera bar , especially when using their eye-safe Infrared, rather than blinding visible light. The software is actor and animator friendly too – each twitch, and idiosyncrasy of the actor’s facial performance is captured, and made available as clean data on the animator’s desk.

Pascal Langlois - Director - Motives in Movement

The UI is simple, intuitive, and extremely easy to use.

Kensaku Ishiyama - Facial Capture team leader - Digital Frontier

The manual work involved with tracking is far less than I even initially imagined.

Kouki Koshita - Motion Capture team leader - Digital Frontier

I am impressed how good the “Analyser” software can track the facial movement. It’s a reliable tool and performs precise as a scalpel.The Tracking results depend highly on a proper calibration. The Retargeting plugin is easy to use and communicates well with the “Analyser” software. This allows an easy way to iterate on the calibration and the preparation of the face for the retargeting. I encourage to invest enough time with the setup of the Analyzer and the characters face poses. It will be rewarded with nicely tracked realistic and believable facial performance. Since realistic facial animation consumes a lot of time, the software is a reliable alternative to speed up the production.

Marco Roeth - Lead Animator - IO Interactive

Dynamixyz’ Performer is a very professional technical software, and, once you know the pipeline, professional quality animation can be delivered at lightning speed.
